  1. EMEP case studies on HMs: State of the art Ilyin I. EMEP/MSC-E 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  2. Assessment of HM pollution levels on a country scale Objective:Analysis of factors affecting quality of the assessment of HM pollution levels with fine resolution (down to 5x5 km) Participants:Croatia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands (as of May 2013) Croatia: finished Czech Republic: finished Netherlands: ongoing Progress: 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  3. Croatia • Modelling with fine resolution improves model assessment due to better spatial representation of input data: a) emission fields Emission, 50x50 km Emission, 10x10 km 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  4. Overview of results for other countries Croatia • Modelling with fine resolution improves model assessment due to better spatial representation of input data: a) emission fields Deposition, 50x50 km Deposition, 10x10 km 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  5. Overview of results for other countries Croatia • Modelling with fine resolution improves model assessment due to better spatial representation of input data: a) emission fields Precipitation, mm b) Meteorological data Tot. deposition 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  6. Croatia • Modelling with fine resolution improves model assessment due to better spatial representation of input data: a) emission fields b) Meteorological data c) Detailed country-specific information 50 x 50 km 10 x 10 km Contribution of foreign sources to deposition in Croatia 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  7. Concluding remarks (Croatia): • Finer resolution modelling is highly important for counties with relatively small territory and complex terrain because: • Spatial distribution of pollution levels is more detailed • Small-scale effects are reproduced better (e.g., orographic precipitation, deposition along state borders) • It is possible to assess transboundary pollution for both the entire country and its administrative regions 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  8. Czech Republic Mean relative bias, % • Transition to fine resolution leads to improvement of modelling results 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  9. Czech Republic Mean relative bias, % • Transition to fine resolution leads to improvement of modelling results 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  10. Czech Republic • Transition to fine resolution leads to improvement of modelling results Pollution from LPS Pollution of country’s provinces • Modelling with fine resolution allows us to produce more detailed data, if necessary input information is available. Contribution of main source categories to country’s pollution 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  11. Concluding remarks (Czech Republic): • Transition to finer resolution of emission and meteorological data leads to better evaluation of pollution levels • Rough spatial emission distribution in the neighbouring countries leads to additional uncertainties of pollution levels in the country • Wind re-suspension is important contributor to HM levels and needs more detailed investigation • Involvement of national measurement data increases a base for the analysis and validation of transboundary transport 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  12. Netherlands Main stages of the research (Pb, 2007) • Preparation of input data (emissions, monitoring, meteorology, land-cover) with fine spatial resolution (5x5 km2) • complete • Modelling with coarse and fine resolution and analysis of factors affecting country-specific pollution levels • ongoing • ongoing • Improvements of model parameterizations and input data • Preparation of country-specific information with fine resolution • Inclusion of other pollutants (Cd, Hg) and extension of period to 2007-2009 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  13. - DWD - GSOD Input data involved in the study • Emissions • Netherlands: 5x5 km (national data) • Other regions: 50x50 (EMEP data) • Measurements • Concentrations in air (5 sites) • Concentrations in precip. (1 site) • Meteorological data • For modelling: pre-processed by MM5 • For verification: GSOD, DWD • Geophysical data • Land-cover (MODIS) • Concentrations in soils (based on http://weppi.gtk.fi/publ/foregsatlas/) • Dust suspension flux (modelling) • ….. 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  14. Annual mean air concentrations of Pb with coarse and fine resolution, 2007 5 x 5 km 50 x 50 km 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  15. Modelled and observed annual mean concentrations in air at monitoring sites 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  16. Contributions of anthropogenic and re-suspension sources to air concentrations at the stations 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  17. Annual anthropogenic emission and wind re-suspension of lead in 2007 Anthropogenic Wind re-suspension 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  18. Total suspension of dust from the local domain HM re-suspension flux = Dust flux ● HM soil concentration Soil concentration: The same (http://weppi.gtk.fi/publ/foregsatlas/) Dust flux: depends on a) soil texture (the same for 5x5 and 50 x 50) b) meteorological data (ABL parameters, soil moisture) Seasonal variability of dust suspension from land cover type ‘urban’ 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  19. Correction of dust suspension in the local domain (Effect of soil moisture) Pb annual mean concentrations • Re-suspension flux of HMs is sensitive to soil moisture. Modified moisture was used (Grini et al., 2005) • Further investigation/improvement of soil moisture parameterization is needed 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  20. Monthly mean modelled and observed concentrations of Pb (corrected dust flux) 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  21. Contributions of main emission sources to air concentrations at the Dutch stations HM re-suspension flux = Dust flux ● HM soil concentration HMsoil(surface) = HMsoil(20 cm) x (1 + Enrichment Factor) • Enrichment factor of soil concentration needs correction 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  24. Contribution of various sources to Pb air concentrations (station Bilthoven) Averaged for 7-19 April Urban Contributions (ng/m3) of re-suspension from urban areas to air concentrations (average for the period) Area, where enrichment factor was reduced • Soil enrichment factor was reduced by a factor of 0.5 in the selected area • Modelling with 50x50 km2 and 5x5 km2 resolution was performed 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  28. Main conclusions (for the three countries-participants) • Transition to finer resolution makes possible to better reproduce small-scale effects (e.g., orographic precipitation, deposition along state borders) • Modelling with fine resolution allows us to produce more detailed country-specific information, if necessary input information is available • Rough spatial distribution of emissions in the neighbouring countries leads to additional uncertainties of pollution levels in the country • Formal transition to finer resolution does not always favours the improvement of modelling results. Detailed analysis of factors affecting the modelling results is needed. • Wind re-suspension is important contributor to HM levels. More detailed investigation of factors affecting re-suspension is needed (soil moisture, concentrations in soil and their enrichment ) 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia

  29. Further country-specific activity: • Finalization of the country-specific research for the Netherlands • Preparation of country-specific information with fine resolution: • Maps of pollution levels • Contributions of foreign and secondary sources • Pollution levels in individual provinces • Exceedances of critical loads • Inclusion of other pollutants (Cd, Hg) and extension of time period (2007-2009) • Initiation of country-specific activity, including modelling with fine resolution, for one EECCA country 14th TFMM meeting, May 2013, Zagreb, Croatia
